Zabrat Airport is a small public-use aerodrome in the Zabrat settlement of Baku, Azerbaijan, lying a few miles northeast of the city centre. It is best known today as a base for helicopter operations rather than fixed-wing traffic, with a single hard-surfaced runway serving light aircraft and rotary movements.
Zabrat Airport sits in the Zabrat district on the northeastern edge of Baku, Azerbaijan. It is a modest, public-use field rather than a major gateway, and its principal current role is as a base for helicopter operations, making it an interesting stop for a simulator pilot wanting a change from Baku's main international airport.
The airfield is located in the Zabrat settlement of Baku City, roughly six nautical miles northeast of central Baku. No specific airspace classification, controlling FIR sector detail, or nearby controlled airspace boundaries are given in the available sources beyond its general position close to the Azerbaijani capital.
Zabrat has a single physical runway, 16/34, of 2,755 feet with a hard surface. There is no ILS or other instrument landing system installed, so any approach must be flown visually.

Zabrat Airport today functions primarily as a helicopter base, hosting the administrative building and technical service depot of ASG Helicopter Services. The airport area has been adapted for helicopter operations, with twelve helicopter stands built to modern standards. A German-installed ACAMS lighting complex, certified to international standards, allows helicopter reception at night and in poor weather. The airport perimeter is protected by an electronic security fence with integrated lighting, and access is controlled through a security screening process in line with ICAO/IATA safety standards.
